Abstract

Due to the scarcity of water in the State of Kuwait and to insurance food security, attention has been oriented to agricultural investment to reduce the gap between food consumption and the process of importing it. Therefore, the State of Kuwait has tended to use unconventional water resources such as the treatment of sewage water and reduce the cost of treating salt water and turning it into fresh water. The most important results were to identify the water rating of the most important crops in cubic meters, whose root length reaches 0.6, 1.6, 1.8 m, in addition to identifying the climate conditions in the State of Kuwait, as it is clear from them that they are harsh conditions.
